Stéphane, a onetime fashion photographer, lives alone with his daughter Marie in a large house in the suburbs of Paris.  Stéphane retains his passion for his art and thinks nothing of subjecting his daughter to the ordeal of lengthy photography sessions which are both physically and emotionally demanding.  Jean, Stéphane's young assistant, cannot help falling in love with Marie and becomes increasingly concerned over the way she is being exploited by her clearly unstable father.  Gradually, he realises that he must get her away from this hermetic environment, before it is too late...
